Summary

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers re-signed Ahkello Witherspoon to a two-year contract, essentially ending the team's free agency search at cornerback. Now, Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin must find their starting strong safety, and they've got plenty of money to do that. Free agents like Tyrann Mathieu and Landon Collins are still on the market looking for a new team, as well as the experienced Terrell Edmunds who could be signed for a smaller hit on the team's salary cap. Will the Steelers make a big move? Mitch Trubisky, Myles Jack, James Daniels, Levi Wallace and Jason Cole all addressed Pittsburgh media for the first time, speaking about the culture of the organization and how Tomlin, Brian Flores and Cam Heyward have all played big parts in their joining the team. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns can't get out of their own way and appear to be headed to a divorce with Baker Mayfield. Follow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.
